The Savage Arms Model 1895 75th Anniversary Edition is a rare gem that captures the innovative spirit of historical firearm design. Manufactured in 1970, this model is a tribute to the revolutionary hammerless lever-action rifle introduced by Savage Arms in 1895. This special edition stands out with its .308 Win. caliber, a modern deviation from the original .303 Savage.
Exhibiting an excellent condition, this firearm shows faint signs of prior use or handling, and may have never been fired. The walnut stock carries a few minor dings but retains its grandeur, complemented by a schnabel forend and brass medallion inlay celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Savage Arms Co. The blued finish, brass lever, and curved brass buttplate further accentuate its aesthetic appeal.
The rifle features a clean, mirror-finished bore with sharp lands and grooves that testify to its excellent rifling. The lever-action mechanism ensures smooth operation, and the 5-round capacity is indicative of its practicality for special occasions. The 24" octagonal barrel lends a unique appearance, and the front dovetail brass blade sight coupled with a rear adjustable, foldable buckhorn style v-notch sight ensures precision in every shot.
One of the highlights of this model is the meticulous geometric pattern engraving. The inlayed scrollwork surrounding "Model 1895" on the right side of the receiver and "Savage Arms" on the left side of the receiver adds to its historical value and makes it a collector's dream. This firearm is not just a shooting equipment but a fusion of history, artistry, and functionality.
Whether you are a collector or a shooting enthusiast, the Savage Arms Model 1895 75th Anniversary Edition is a fitting tribute to the revolutionary design in lever actions with the rotary internal magazine made famous by the later Savage 99. It's a great wall hanger that can also be a delightful piece to shoot on special occasions. Step into a piece of firearm history and allow this unique piece to become a part of your collection.
